Chapter Seventy-Four: The Nine Kingdoms Conquer Yan
Then, Du Buyi and Zilian finally saw a sentence in a volume of Pang Juan's book:
"Although my master is the third generation of Confucius's master, his cultivation is also the head of Confucianism, Taoism, soldiers, ink, and law, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not seek wealth and nobility, and hides in the world, and no one knows about it, so it is inconvenient to mention the name of my teacher, disturbing his reputation!"
Wei Si read Pang Juan's suicide note, and listened to Zi Lian's description of the storytelling grandfather with four moles on his forehead, which was exactly the same as what was depicted in the history books, and he believed that this Pang Juan and his teacher might really be the old man Zi Lian said, that is, Guiguzi.
So Wei Si immediately secretly sent someone to Yan Kingdom to find this Mr. Guiguzi, Su Qin even volunteered to find this old man who was suspected of being Guiguzi, Zi Lian naturally had to accompany him, although Wei Si was reluctant to let the two of them leave, but there was no way, after all, if he could get the help of this Mr. Guiguzi, it would be like getting the help of the gods.
After reluctantly bidding farewell to Su Qin and Zilian to leave, Wei Si also began to prepare for the trip, after all, he was going to take Xinyan Wang Jizhi to lead the troops to the Qi State to meet the alliance.
Wei Si ordered Wei Shen to be the main general, Wei Ran as the deputy general, and invited Yan Wang Ji Zhi to inspect the Yan soldiers and horses on the tower of Daliang City.
At this time, the soldiers and horses of the Wei State were neat and tidy, and they were all high-spirited, and they had already been not inferior to the overlord of the year, Wei Wushu.
Wei Ran was also very happy when he got the opportunity to show himself for the first time in Wei State, and came to Wei Si and King Yan with a smile:
"King Qiyu and King Yan, our Great Wei soldiers and horses have been counted, and there will be 104,500 soldiers and horses on this expedition to Yan Kingdom, including 100,000 Wei Mang, 4,000 recruits, and 500 miscellaneous personnel!"
Wei Si nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Yan Wang Ji with envious eyes on the side:
"King Yan, are you still satisfied with our Wei State helping you defeat Yan soldiers and horses this time?"
Ji Zhi nodded excitedly:
"Satisfied, of course satisfied, just your new army, the king, is enough to help me exterminate the rebellious ministers and thieves."
Wei Si then said:
"This time, there is not only the division of Wei State, but also seven countries will also participate in the crusade against the thief, so this thief will definitely become a prisoner of King Yan in the future, let King Yan go to vent your anger, when the time comes, King Yan will crack the car if you want to, and if you want to rip off your feet, you will be able to hate your heart."
Ji Zhi suddenly had some melancholy expressions at this time:
"King Wei, this time the countries helped me to restore Yan, especially your help, King Wei, I am afraid that this kindness will not be able to be repaid by me in my life!"
Wei Si replied:
"This king doesn't need you to return from King Yan, this king just wants that in the future, the Yan State can work with the Wei State of this king with one heart and one mind, and it is enough to jointly safeguard the interests of the two countries!"
Ji Zhi suddenly walked over to Wei Si with gratitude and sobs, and knelt on the ground:
"King Wei, you ...... You...... That's right...... I'm too good to him, right? King Wei, you ...... I will definitely remember this kindness! ”
Wei Si hurriedly went over and helped Ji Zhi:
"King Yan, you are now the lord of the dignified Yan Kingdom, you don't have to bow to this king like this in the future, if you Yan people see it, it will be fine!"
Ji Zhi still said with tears in his eyes:
"But King Wei, you not only save my life, but also have the grace of recreation, which is worthy of my Ji Zhi in the future, I believe that the people of our Yan Kingdom will understand it in the future!"
Wei Si was also a little relieved to see that this Ji Zhi seemed to be very sincere, so he changed the topic and said:
"Then King Yan, if you return to the country, how do you plan to deal with the other divisions of the Seven Kingdoms? Our Wei army will not enter Jidu, and after you succeed in quelling the rebellion, our Wei army will definitely withdraw in time, and will not occupy any of your Yan lands and harass any people. ”
Ji Zhi replied:
"I've also thought about this, the army of the Seven Kingdoms will definitely not retreat easily, and when the time comes, I can only temporarily cede some land and property to them to show gratitude."
Wei Si said again:
"But your Yan Kingdom is located in a remote place in the northeast, how much land can be ceded now, and how much property can be given away? Zhao Jun is okay, it's a big deal, King Yan, you will help send troops to help it destroy Zhongshan Kingdom together, and the King of Qi is probably not a master to deal with, and a little land may not be able to satisfy it! ”
Ji Zhi replied:
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about, and I can only take one step at a time!"
Wei Si patted Ji Zhi on the shoulder:
"Okay, King Yan, this king will definitely find a way to help you when the time comes!"
Ji Zhi knelt directly in front of Wei Si again, showing a face full of gratitude.
A month later, under the Qi calendar.
At this time, almost all the armies of the Eight Kingdoms had gathered near this place, and Wei Si and King Yan had just arrived in front of the Huimeng platform.
I saw that the monarchs of the seven countries on the stage had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw that Wei Si and King Yan had arrived, they hurriedly greeted the two of them.
Because the new Yan Wang Ji Zhi is the protagonist of the crusade, Ji Zhi is naturally surrounded by everyone on the platform of the alliance.
After the people from Zhou Wangji sent Zhou Tianzi's crusade banner, Yan Wang Ji Zhi personally stepped forward to take over Zhou Tianzi's banner, put it on the platform of the alliance, and then said loudly to the kings and the officials of the former state in the stage:
"The injustice of the son, not my Yan family, but stealing my Yan country, poisoning my first king, abusing my Yan people, such a great evildoer, the world to fight together, so I swear here today, this time I will not exterminate the rebel thief, swear not to be a person!"
As Ji Zhi made an oath to crusade against the speech, the eight princes and kings also agreed:
"Crusade against the ...... of the Son Defeat the ...... Crusade against injustice...... Maintain the ...... of the weekly ceremony! ”
Although Wei Si followed the gentlemen, he laughed in his heart:
"Ridiculous...... Amusing...... They are all monarchs who keep saying benevolence, righteousness and morality, shouting Zhou Li in their mouths, but in their hearts, they don't even remember who Zhou Tianzi is today, I'm afraid few monarchs remember. ”
After a symbolic ceremony, the monarchs came together to discuss the number of troops to send.
This time, Wei Si originally thought that he had sent 100,000 troops to the most, but he didn't expect that Qi State directly sent an incredible 250,000 troops, and Zhao State also sent 150,000 troops, and his Wei State's 100,000 troops could only rank third here.
Behind them were the 50,000 troops of Korea, the 30,000 troops of the Song State, the 20,000 troops of the Lu State, the 20,000 troops of the Zhongshan State, and the 10,000 troops of the Wei State.
Regarding the fact that the Qi State actually dispatched 250,000 troops to crusade against the son, Yan Wang Jizhi was also very worried, after all, if the Qi army did not leave the Yan State, then what would it do? But after all, King Qi is now crusading against Zizhi for himself, and Ji Zhi naturally doesn't dare to say anything.
After everything was settled, the kings of all the countries also dispersed, and the soldiers and horses of various countries began to advance in the direction of Yan under the leadership of the main generals of all parties, intending to converge on the banks of the Yishui River, and then attack Jidu.
How can a small Yan country resist the attack of the army of the eight countries?
Zizhi, who was in Jidu, had already received this shocking news, so he hurriedly sent someone to the Qin State, hoping to seek the assistance of the Qin State.
But the Qin State had just lost two battles and lost a lot of land, and it was difficult to protect itself, so how could it be possible to help the Yan State?
Under the discussion of the King of Qin and Zhang Yi in the Qin Palace, the Qin State directly killed the distress envoy sent by the son of Yan Guozhi this time, sent 30,000 soldiers and horses, and also responded to the countries to start a crusade against the Yan State.
For a while, Yan Guozi seemed to be on the verge of being unaccompanied.
Therefore, Zizhi had to plan for the worst first, and sent someone to escort his two sons to Jizi Korea in Liaodong first, in order to get asylum.
After Wei Si returned to Daliang, he was not idle, but took Chen Zhen, Yan Chan'er and others to the old capital Anyi again, and by the way, inspected the cities of Yewang, Heyang, and Yidi that had just been exchanged from South Korea.
Although Wei lost Shangluo, Hanguguan and other places south of the Yellow River, the king of Han did not dare to ask for the land of Xiangling, and even sent all the six cities connected with Shangdang near Heyang and Yewang to Wei.
As a result, the Shangdang of Korea had become an enclave at this time, and the passage between Wei Guoanyi and Daliang was officially opened, and Wei Si no longer had to borrow Korea or detour hundreds of miles to reach Anyi from Daliang as before.
Wei Si was also dressed in cloth this day, and walked around Chen Zhen and Yan Chan'er in the newly acquired land of Yewang City.
I only heard Chen Zhen say:
"King, you seem to have suffered a lot of losses in exchange for these cities from South Korea this time, but you actually made a lot of money!"
Wei Si smiled:
"Yes, but Korea is not a loss, the Hangu Pass given to it by the widow is the most important barrier for Korea to defend against Qin in the future, if South Korea can hold this pass, then the west of Korea will be able to keep peace forever in the future, and the land of Shangluo has always been fertile, to be honest, the widow is the most reluctant to this land."
Chen Zhen smiled:
Since you are reluctant, the king, haven't you already changed? As long as you continue to strengthen our Wei Kingdom in the future, then you will be able to recapture these land kings sooner or later! ”
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, but this will have to wait for the end of the war in Yan State, after all, our Wei State has been fighting every year in the past few years, and the soldiers and people are also a little tired."
Yan Chan'er next to her suddenly asked Wei Si:
"Why did you take Chan'er with you on your trip to Anyi this time?"
Wei Si took Yan Chan'er's hand, looked at her and said:
"The widow has been snubbing you since he picked you up and returned to Daliang, you won't be angry, right?"
Yan Chan'er shook her head:
"No, I know that your king is busy with state affairs, and it is impossible to have time to spend with Chan'er every day!"
Wei Si was very pleased and said:
"That's good, that's good, the widow is most afraid that you women will be jealous, in fact, the widow brought you out this time to compensate for you!"
Yan Chan'er lowered her head a little shyly:
"My lord, on this street, aren't you afraid of being heard by passers-by when you say these words?"
